Buying a House Using a Contract for Deed

Despite what many people may think, homes can be obtained by means of a contract for deed. Sometimes an individual will not have the credit to purchase a home through the conventional route. So they look for alternatives. One of these other options is the contract for deed. Through this legal instrument you can buy a house from an individual or business, and secure the mortgage with the deed. This type of agreement, which is also known as land contract, has existed for many years and they were initially intended for agricultural properties. It involves a basic installment plan utilized to find funding for the property owner with minimum liability to the seller because the buyer is not going to own the title of the property or home unless the seller is paid off and the contract for deed is fully paid. All information as to how the buyer closes the purchase, obligations of buyer and seller, and the rate of interest have to be explained in the agreement.

First thing that needs to be done is for an individual to find a suitable property and then discuss with the seller about opting for a contract for deed. You should ask for the price. Then if it is settled, arrange for the down payment. The property title will not be given to buyer before the contract is paid in full, and so one has to make sure to agree on terms, price, and pay out. All specifics of the contract must be explained such as first payment, the final payment of the contract, obligation of property maintenance, cost of taxes and insurance coverage, and probable selling of the property. In addition, terms that explain what happens if the buyer does not pay off the loan.

Second, in case the property owner wants a buy out of the contract with a mortgage in say one or two years, an individual might want to go to a bank or loan company to discuss his or her purchase plan, along with one's income and credit options. A buyer should get a per-qualification in advance so that he or she will be aware of the things that may require straightening out when seeking for a mortgage afterwards. One also needs to know if the lender requires the property owner to provide a quitclaim before it provides refinancing to pay off the contract. A quitclaim is a deed which warrants that the owner is letting go of some or all claim that he or she is entitled on the property.

Third, go over the terms and conditions with the seller. Formalize the deal with an attorney drafting the contract for deed. The attorney will make a comprehensive title search to make sure that the property is free from liens. A buyer must consult an attorney regarding how the state's real estate laws would consider this kind of contract and if a buyer can apply for a homestead exemption at the tax office in the area. The exemption will allow an individual to reduce property taxes for living in a primary residence.

Fourth, arrange an appointment with the seller to proceed with the purchase and prepare funds for the down payment.

Fifth, see to it that all information and facts are explained in the contract. In case one is obtaining credit to finance a down payment, make sure it is documented and the buyer should keep duplicates of payment for proof later on just in case a need to seek a home financing to pay off the contract arises.

Considering that title is still not under the buyer's name, it would be very simple for the seller to finish the contract and make the buyer leave should the buyer fails to make payments or fails ทาวน์เฮ้าส์มือสอง กรุงเทพ to conform to other specifics in the agreement. This is other reason to hire a lawyer so that he/she can oversee the proper terms pertaining to contract are clearly explained in the contract for deed.
